Like The Wedding Ringer, we all know that our wedding is without a doubt one of the most important events of our lives. There are so many things to worry about, and it’s been my experience that us brides typically get stuck planning everything… Well, I honestly don’t think I would have it any other way in my relationship. My husband planning our wedding might have led to a pretty crazy wedding story, lol.
3 Reasons Not To Drink At A Wedding
I’m sure I could come up with tons more reasons not to drink at a wedding, but here are the first three reasons not to drink at a wedding that come to mind.
You might be late…
I don’t know if I have a crazy wedding story… However, we did start late because my husband’s best man didn’t show up until an hour after the wedding should have started because he was hungover from the night before.
There might be a fight…
Now, my brother’s wedding… that was an exciting night with too much booze and I can honestly say I’m glad my brother and his new wife decided to hit the sack early. It was a brave move by my brother who knows what tends to happen when you get our family together, with booze, and a few people who like to start trouble.
You can’t tell anyone… Before I get started I also want to add that my family is normally very sweet, caring, and wouldn’t hurt a fly. However, we know drama happens now and then.
Okay, so the wedding was great… We headed to my brother’s house for the after party… You know the one where everyone drinks way too much, stays up way too late, and typically has a lot of fun? Well, it started out that way. Until this guy—I don’t even know who he was or where he came from—started talking crap to everyone. For the longest time everyone brushed it off and went about their business. Then he said something that upset my uncle enough to punch him. He didn’t just punch this guy, he knocked him out, lol.
My uncle, 70 at this time, knocked out this guy who couldn’t have been older than 30 for saying something. To this day I don’t think anyone knows what he said exactly. My mom (one of the only sober people) went outside, loaded up her car, and started hauling family members back to their hotel, lol.
My poor brother woke up the next morning to people passed out on his lawn and my mom asleep on his couch because she wanted to make sure everyone was good for the rest of the night. What a good mom, and luckily nothing else happened because she fell asleep.
It was sweet of her, because I’m not sure what would have happened had she not been there to remove some of the drunk and belligerent family members.
You might tuck your dress in your stockings
Gosh, my friend and I were at a wedding a few years back and my poor friend (not naming anyone, sorry girl LOL) tucked her dress in her stockings. Of course, we had a few drinks, but neither one of us was drunk. Anyway my friend went into the bathroom, came out, sat down, and started dancing with one of the groomsmen, when I noticed she had tucked her super cute dress into her stockings, and well, she was showing some cheeks. I know everyone saw, but nobody said anything, so I made a beeline for her, and as I was on my way over she pulled her dress out slick-like… I know people saw, she knows I saw, but it’s something we have never spoken about… Until now, LOL.
I guess there are a few reasons not to drink at a wedding and I’m sure I could come up with more, but I guess I should be thankful we never had to rent groomsmen… Gosh, could you imagine how that would turn out? Probably like The Wedding Ringer…
My sister and I were talking about funny wedding stories this afternoon, and The Wedding Ringer preview came on TV. We both agreed that it looks hilarious and decided on having our first sister date in over 12 years… Yes, we used to have sisterly dates all the time, but it’s been over 12 years, and I think we’re due for another one. There’s no better reason to watch The Wedding Ringer when it premieres on Jan. 16, 2015.
The Wedding Ringer
Have you heard of The Wedding Ringer? I hope you have seen one of the trailers or previews, but if not it’s okay, you’re here now. Be sure to head over to The Wedding Ringer’s website when you’re done reading.
So what’s The Wedding Ringer about?
Well, let us start with the cast – Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting. If the cast doesn’t say enough, then there was a part during one of The Wedding Ringer’s trailers where the narrator says it best, “If The Hangover and Something About Mary were to have a baby it would look like The Wedding Ringer.” It’s super-duper, totally funny, and not a movie you are going to want to miss out on!
See Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a kind of awkward but awesome guy who has a serious problem: a soon-to-be wife who he loves very much and wants to give her the perfect wedding. There are only SEVEN problems – groomsmen; he needs SEVEN of them and being that he’s lovable but socially awkward he doesn’t have any.
With only two weeks before he marries the woman of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) he has to turn to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner of Best Man, Inc. Jimmy needs to not only help Josh come up with SEVEN groomsmen, but help the men (ringers) invent their history together. It’s an outrageous mission they have to pull off, one serious lie they need to get straight and only two weeks to get it done.
I’m sure you can imagine; it’s going to be filled with tons of laughs.

The Wedding Ringer Official Summery
Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.
